    Laughed at the "surprising an Ent" when I saw the full size picture, eyes and all.
    www.remotemoto.com - a serious site for serious ADV riders, the ultimate resource in the making.
    Check out my videos on Youtube including... the 2011 Dusty Butt 1K - Awakino Challenge and others.

    NMCC Laid Back trail ride tomorrow. I'm about to fit proper kNobblies to the 640A, and will nanna around the main loop tomorrow. Depending on how brave I feel (read: how wet and greasy it is), I might even tackle some of the A-grade loops... preferably after a recce on my mate's FE450 'Berg.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    If I was able to change tyres and actually had some appropriate knobblies I'd be doing the same

    Actually I think I've got an old front off the XR that would work...

    Hey, I caught up to you...

    You now know where the abandoned house is
    The river crossing at the bridge on the Pelorus side is getting easier. Easier as in I'm less wimpish doing it

    Going to take spare petrol this time?

    There was only a slight breeze up in the hills as opposed to the gale it was blowing in Nelson today.
    Perfect conditions for a solo ride...
    Or a group ride come to that
    Mrs Jatz in the rough stuff on the little Tenere...


    Jatz hard at work on the Big...


    Getting warmer so off with some layers...


    The fast...


    And the not so fast...


    Failing to fall off in the mud...


    Following that damn boat...

    I could probably sort you out with something... got some old Dunlop D756 intermediates that would probably fit. The front is nicely polished & rounded from years of sand use at Woodhill. Waiting for some Hira/Maungatapu action to finish those ones off in the rocks. When they open Hira again we should do some exploring; plenty of adventure/trail to be had in there.
    Cheers,
    Colin
